One person has suffered multiple injuries in a crash involving a lorry and a car that has closed the A386 this morning.

A police spokesperson said the casualty is currently being treated by paramedics in an ambulance at the scene - but the injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

There are lots of localised road closures around the crash scene, near Heatherleigh, and the A386 has been closed for the car to be recovered, say the police.

The Highways Agency are at the scene and the lorry has been moved to a nearby layby.

Traffic and roads monitoring service Inrix, which first reported the incident on at 7.33am, reports that the A386 is closed in both directions between A3072 ( Hatherleigh ) and Jacobstowe turn off (Inwardleigh).
